GREAT MOVE TAKEN TO ADVERM VALLEY Opportunities and Advantages tp Be Brought Before Home Seekers As stated in a previous issue of the “Sentinel” the rates for display advertising in these columns are to be raised on the first of January, 1911. It is the intention of the publisher to print several hundred extra copies of each issue for free distribution among outsiders; to place the advantages of one of the most progressive and fast developing communities in the South before them in the proper light. The paper will be handsomely illustrated with half-tones and printed on a fine quality of heavy book paper. Correspondents from environ territories have been secured and articles on various subjects will be especially written for the “Sentinel” by writers of repute. The “Sentinel” has shown a disposition to render material assistance in this work of advertising Eagle Rock, but it should not be expected to furnish all the funds for that purpose. The people themselves must do their part. I...

REGULAR MEETING OF 20TH CENTURY CLUB Paper on “The Valley Beautiful” Is Read by Mrs. James Gates The regular meeting of the Women’s Twentieth Century Club was held Thursday afternoon in the Congregational church. Mrs. James Gates, who has lived for many years in the Valley read a very fine paper on “The Valley Beautiful.” Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. A. Dunn, and Mrs. F. K. Schrietoer. Tea was served during the social hour. Charming in all its appointments was the Christmas party at which Mrs. Fine and Mrs. Nettie Smith were hostesses at their cosy bungalow on Acacia street last Monday evening. The decorations, in keeping with the holiday season, were especially pretty. In the living room great bunches of fir and red geraniums were used in the corners, from which garlands of rose vines and geraniums were caught in a huge bunch of peppers and berries, surrounding a Christmas bell, in the center of the ceiling. In the dining room, branches of orange, with the fruit, were arti...

INCORPORATION DELAYED ONTIL NEAR FUTURE Important Project Seems to Have No Visible Opposition At the regular meeting of the county supervisors which was held at Los Angeles last Tuesday the Eagle Rock incorporation question was slightly touched upon. Attorney L. R. Darrett faithfully appeared before the board in order to watch the progress of the petition but the matter was laid over until next Tuesday, January 3rd, and will not be finally decided upon until the result of the Glendale annexation election is officially announced. There seems to be no opposition to organizing Eagle Rock as a municipality and the energetic promoters ■may rest assured that friend Garrett with the aid of the balance of the committee is doing all in his power to bring about the result so enthusiastically desired by the overwhelming majority of our residents. The delay, which is consequent to the Glendale project, does not at all discourage the optimistic promoters who are so eagerly working for the develo...

HOME TEAM LOSES TWO BIG BATTLES Harris and Frank Team Brings Along Pretty Girls in Picture Hats The Eagle Rock Baseball Team met the Diamond-White Sox in a game at the baseball grounds on Sycamore avenue, last Sunday, and if reports are true, it is sledge hammers our boys should 'have been equipped with instead of bats. Those White Sox were simply the limit. They won the game—the score was 9 to 2, but it wasn’t much of a victory as most of the home team were celebrating Xmas —far from the scene—and the substitutes were not in very good playing shape. On Monday the Harris &amp;amp; Frank nine from Los Angeles entered the sacred precincts of the Valley for a game with the Eagle Rock nine. With the air of conquerors the Harris &amp;amp; Frank men took up their positions —their air was haughty—their manner patronizing—the beautiful Xmas sun seeing no further need of its services, quietly withdrew behind a cloud. Alas—where were the feminine rooters for the home team — probably g...

UMKESIffEIS HBiKnmn Entertainment at Congregational Church a Huge Success The largest audience ever assembled in Eagle Rock Valley greeted the children of the Congregational Sunday school, last Friday night, when the Cantata, “Christmas With the Toymakers,” was presented toy them. So well did the children carry out their parts that they were the recipients of repeated encores. Too much cannot be said of the ability of the twelve boys who took the part of the toymakers, who opened the first scene -with a rollicking chorus. Miss Frances Werdin was pleasing as Santa’s Messenger. Little Lois Garrett, as "Happy Thought,” picturesquely costumed in a filmy green dress, and tall thinking cap, made a decided hit, when after singing a pretty little song she summoned a flock of beautiful snow birds, who offered in a cheery song to help make the Xmas toys. In many respects the most beautiful feature of the evening was the appearance of the little startoeams, composed of the tiniest tots in the ...
